Luis Suárez

[KingLeo10]

Well at least my memory is longer than the very last KO CL game that Barca has played. Which is more than can be said for you.

Let's break it down. Suarez, the de facto striker at Barca. The one who should be our top scorer given that Messi actually plays way deeper than him and Suarez can't contribute in build-up to save his life.

16/17 - 1 goal v PSG in 2 games, 0 goals v Juve in 2 games
17/18 - 0 goals v Chelsea in 2 games, 0 goals v Roma in 2 games
18/19 - 0 goals v Lyon in 2 games, 1 (own goal?) v United in 2 games, 1 goal v Liverpool in 2 games

That's 3 (maybe 2) goals in 14 games.

Messi in same period:

16/17 - 1 goal v PSG in 2 games, 0 goals v Juve in 2 games
17/18 - 3 goals v Chelsea in 2 games, 0 goals v Roma in 2 games
18/19 - 2 goals v Lyon in 2 games, 2 goals v United in 2 games, 2 goals v Liverpool in 2 games

10 goals in 14 games.

Messi has been carrying the carcass of what used to be Suarez for a while now. If you had even a modicum of shame, you'd see this problem.

But instead, there's actual posts from you suggesting Suarez find a club better in mental strength (LOL) when he's been one of the primary contributors to us not being able to win CL.

Maybe he's getting the surgery done now in order to play in the Copa America, have a good tournament, and look for a move to a club that has some mental strength.

Then again, can't expect a double digit'er to grasp these basic concepts. Fuck right off.

Good half so far. He is showing more of his positives attributes today rather than his negatives.

Great game!

Vamos Luisssss!

good game

The guy ran and pressed for 70 minutes tonight. That's the only thing I ask of him in the KO stages this season. Sit him in La Liga games if that's what it takes.

Same with Messi. We need to find games where these two could rest.

 

[Messigician]

Back at his best

Messi and Suarez getting rested is essential but hard too, as they always want to play. We need to pick matches were it happens though. We also need to be able to win without them against lower tier teams at some point. I don't think anyone doubts that when Suarez is on form he is one of the best strikers. His consistency has just dropped compared to his younger days.

Irrelevant game specialist

 

[Vilarrubi]

Class today, definitely been better last few games.

 

[bismp]

Was pleasantly surprised by Luis’ game today,he didn’t fuck up every attack like he used.A few nice touches and passes and of course the assist.

 

[Andresito]

Good decision making tonight. Let's hope he keeps this up.
